ROTFL - Abbreviation for Rolling On The Floor Laughing

That's what happened when I watched the British mockumentary called "The Office" years ago. It is so funny you can't describe it. Okay, I'll try anyway. :-) The humor is uncomfortable. The main star and one of the producers, Ricky Gervais, who is a comic genius, will say stupid things with a straight face, but you'll be laughing your socks off. You don't know whether to laugh at him or feel sorry for him because he is so oblivious in the series.

I was inspired to blog about him by this Salon article I read. Apparently he's trying to gain fame across the pond here in the States. If you still haven't seen the British version of "The Office", run to your nearest DVD rental store or order it from Netflix! Sometimes you just need a good hearty laugh. Life is too serious.

Back to my photo series, this picture above shows California street when it is still in the Financial District, and relatively flat.
